QuantaMAX and Standard Filters for Fluorescence design of these filters also offers the benefit of an increased ability to attenuate off axis rays such as those found in instruments using high system speeds or less than optimally collimated light sources such as light emitting diodes (LED). Dichroic mirror substrates utilize UV-grade fused silica to take advantage of the high level of internal uniformity of this glass, therefore offering excellent transmitted wave-front distortion (TWD) and transmission values across the operational range of the substrate. of contrast is to minimize non-specific light from reaching the detector. A typical research grade CCD camera has a quantum efficiency range from ~350-1100 nm. By designing each filter to offer near band blocking of ≥ OD 6, and extended blocking to > OD 5, QMAX filters offer outstanding noise suppression though the entire integrated range of the detector. Figure 3 Optical Density curve of XF407 set QuantaMAX - Stock filters are available for immediate shipment; 25 mm round emission and excitation and 25.7 x 36 mm dichroic. Additional sizes are available upon request. Spectral Performance: Single fluorophore QuantaMAX interference filters and filter sets provide 90% minimum transmission across the pass-band, and routinely exhibit values greater. When using a sensitive detection technique such as fluorescence, a key to achieving high levels Optical Density Wavelength vivid and basic - Standard interference Filters Vivid and Basic - Standard interference filters and filter sets may be comprised of our speedy small volume manufacturing process or large component inventory. They are not immediately available off-the-shelf but are available to ship in 5 business days (expedited deliveries are available upon request), and are customized to your physical and spectral requirements. Applications involving novel fluorophores or multiplexing systems where customized bandwidths are a must are examples of where a product from the standard filter program can be offered to optimize the system performance. The strategy of small lot builds and the incorporation of off-the-shelf components provides for filters of nearly any characteristic to be produced in a fast and economical fashion. Vivid Filters: The Vivid product line utilizes a proprietary method of monitoring and controlling the coating process. This technology yields filters with exceptionally high signal to noise and steep transistion slopes, making them suitable for demanding applications. Vivid filters offer precise and accurate location of cut on and cut off edges with tolerances of +/- 0.01 – +/- 0.05 % of the 50% wavelength edge. Basic Filters: The Basic filters offer excellent performance at a reasonable cost. These filters and filter sets are optimized for the specified application and utilize multi-cavity, Fabry-Perot designs to achieve a rectangular bandpass shape with very steep edges and deep blocking up to OD6 outside the passband. Flexible and efficient manufacturing: Vivid and Basic - Standard interference filters are assembled from our component inventory library of thousands of filter and blockers, along with our speedy turn-around manufacturing capabilities, to provide solutions for unique applications. Some examples of these applications are narrow band Quantum dot specific filters, ratio imaging filters, UV activated photo-switchable proteins, along with many of the less commonly used fluorophores such as Indocyanine Green. These products will meet the requirements for both industry and research where a stock catalog part may not provide the ideal characteristics for the application and without the added cost of a custom manufactured filter and associated lead times. Specifications: Vivid and Basic - Standard filters are designed to functional specifications of the best optical performance at a reasonable price and delivery. Typically, standard band-pass excitation filters reach minimum 75 % transmission. Standard filters that do not require extended blocking can exhibit up to 80-90 % transmission. Standard long and short-pass filters will average > 90 % transmission over the specified operating spectral range. All imaging filters are polished to ≥ 15 arc seconds parallelism and anti-reflection coating applied to minimize deviation and reflection. Dichroic mirrors are built on the same high quality substrate material as those in the stock program for imaging qualities. 70 For current product listings, specifications, and pricing: www.omegafilters.com • sales@omegafilters.com 1.866.488.1064 (toll free within USA only) • +1.802.254.2690 (outside USA)
Summary Given the vast number of fluorescent dyes and applications in use in laboratories today, a solutions approach to maximizing the available filter options has been developed to provide premium performance. QuantaMAX - Stock filters provide precision single substrate coated high contrast filters for the most common applications in fluorescence and are available for immediate shipment. Vivid and Basic - Standard filters provide a valuable pathway for meeting the requirements of researchers whose needs exist outside the stock program, and want the benefits of high contrast, imaging quality fluorescence detection filters at a reasonable cost.
